- peripheral accessories such as peripheral display units can increase the ease of access to information stored on or accessible through portable electronic devices.
- users operating motor vehicles may be unable to directly manipulate their portable electronic devices because it is inconvenient, unsafe, or illegal. Accordingly, peripheral display units and interfaces are required.
- Some solutions for connecting portable electronic devices with peripheral display units or peripheral accessories may require cumbersome processes for setting up a connection, including physically connecting the device and the peripheral/accessory and/or manually providing authentication data. Furthermore, reconnecting may be an inconvenient and slow process that requires the user to manually access his portable electronic device. Additionally, some solutions for connections with peripherals/accessories, especially wireless connections, are battery-intensive and can cause a user to inadvertently exhaust the battery of the portable electronic device. Finally, some solutions may provide a rigid, inflexible user interface on peripheral display units that is uniform across all peripherals or is difficult to reconfigure, or may only be configured through the cumbersome interface of the peripheral, if at all. Additionally, some solutions take too long and drain battery unnecessarily.
- Such methods, devices, and interfaces for easily and quickly establishing a relationship with an accessory/peripheral, and for conveniently reconnecting to the peripheral.
- Such methods, devices, and interfaces optionally compliment conventional methods for establishing relationships between a portable device and an accessory/peripheral display unit and for reconnecting to said accessory/peripheral in the future.
- Such methods, devices, and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface.

- event sorter 170 e.g., in operating system 126
- application 136-1 e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137-13, 155, 380-390.
- Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information.
- Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174.
- application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing.
- device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.
- application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
- Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118.
- Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture).
- Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110).
- Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
- event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripheral interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
- event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.
- Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views, when touch sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
- the application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
- Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub- events of a touch-based gesture.
- hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event).
- the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
- Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physic allocation of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
- Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173.

- event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186.
- Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others.
- sub-events in an event 187 include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching.
- the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object.
- the double tap for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase.
- the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object.

- the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.
- event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object.
- event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.
- the definition for a respective event 187 also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
- a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub- events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub- events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
- a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers.
- metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another.
- metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
- a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized.
- a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view.
- event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
- event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
- data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module 145.
- object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 176 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object.
- GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.

- FIG. 6B depicts a user interface for establishing a relationship between device 600 and peripheral display unit 610 over a wired data connection, namely wired setup user interface 620.
- Wired setup user interface 620 can optionally be displayed on display 608 in response to device 600 receiving a signal from peripheral display unit 610 over wired interface 606. That is, when the device 600 is connected to peripheral display unit 610, for example for the first time, peripheral display unit 610 can optionally send a signal to the device to indicate that the peripheral display unit 610 is capable of establishing a relationship. In response to this signal over the wired data connection, device 600 displays wired setup user interface 620.

- Wireless relationship affordance 622 can optionally also correspond to authorization for the device 600 to establish a wired connection in addition to a wireless connection, as a wired connection can optionally be understood as a lesser and included permission.
- Wired relationship affordance 624 corresponds to authorization by the user for the device 600 to establish a wired connection with the peripheral display unit 610, without authorizing wireless connection.
- charge-only affordance 626 corresponds to the denial of authorization by a user for the device 600 to establish any connection with the peripheral display unit 610; rather, the device 600 will use the wired physical connection simply to charge its battery, and will not establish any connection via either a wired or wireless connection.
- selection of any of the three affordances in wired setup user interface 620 can optionally affect the behavior of device 600 in both the immediate future and at various instances thereafter. That is, in some embodiments, device 600 establishes the authorized connection in accordance with the selected affordance immediately, and also stores information in a local memory such that device 600 can optionally recall the user's selection at a future time and establish only the authorized type of connection (wired or wireless) in the future. Furthermore, device 600 can optionally determine whether, upon future connection of the wired data connection, to prompt the user to establish a relationship. In some embodiments, once the user has made a selection at wired setup user interface 620, interface 620 will not be automatically displayed again.

- Bluetooth enablement prompt 630 is a prompt provided to the user, such as by displaying on display 608, indicating that the Bluetooth communication interface, which can optionally be second wireless communication interface 604, needs to be enabled. This prompt may be necessary during wired setup of a wireless relationship, because various wireless data connections, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, may be necessary to establish the relationship and connect the connection. Thus, if a user begins the setup process by physically connecting device 600 and peripheral display unit 610 via a wired data connection, the device 600 may need to activate any disabled wireless communication functionalities in order to complete setup of a wireless relationship.
- the wired setup user interface 620 includes a Wi-Fi enablement prompt that indicates that Wi-Fi communication, which can optionally correspond to first wireless communication interface 602, needs to be enabled.

As shown in the interface under the words "Other Devices,” the device 600 is detecting two Bluetooth devices with which a stored relationship has not been established: a Mercedes Benz vehicle and a pair of wireless headphones.
- the names of the "other devices” each constitute affordances, such that the area corresponding to the words "Mercedes Benz C-Class" constitutes available Bluetooth device affordance 637.
- Available Bluetooth device affordance 637 corresponds to an instruction by the user to wirelessly establish a stored relationship between the device 600 and the peripheral display unit 610 represented by the available Bluetooth device affordance 637. Techniques for establishing this relationship will be explained in greater detail below.
- FIG. 6E further depicts user input 639, which corresponds to selection of available Bluetooth device affordance 637. In the example shown, the user selection is a tap or touch input at a location corresponding to affordance 637.
- FIG. 6F depicts another user interface for wirelessly establishing a relationship between device 600 and peripheral display unit 610, namely a wireless setup authorization interface 638.
- Wireless setup authorization interface 638 can optionally be displayed in response to the selection of either affordance 634 or 637 as described with respect to FIGS. 6D and 6E .
- Wireless setup authorization interface 638 is similar in many respects to the interface depicted in FIG. 6B , which was part of the interface for wired setup.
- wireless setup authorization interface 638 includes wireless relationship affordance 622 and wired relationship affordance 624, as the interface in FIG. 6B does. As in FIG.
- wireless relationship affordance 622 corresponds to authorization by the user for device 600 to establish a wireless connection with peripheral display unit 610 (and can optionally also correspond to authorization for device 600 to establish a wired connection in addition to a wireless connection), while wired relationship affordance 624 corresponds to authorization by the user for device 600 to establish a wired connection with peripheral display unit 610.
- wireless setup authorization interface 638 does not include an option to establish a charge-only relationship, because the user has specifically sought out the Bluetooth or CarPlay menus described above with respect to FIGS. 6D and 6E in order to reach authorization interface 638. That is, device 600 assumes that the user does indeed want to establish a stored relationship, and seeks only to determine whether a wireless or wired-only relationship should be established.
- wireless setup authorization interface 638 presents different options in accordance with the manner in which the user accessed the authorization interface.
- the interface can optionally provide the options for wireless and wired-only connections when a user accessed the authorization interface 638 through CarPlay menu 632, but can optionally provide only the option for a wireless connection when the user accessed the authorization interface 638 through Bluetooth menu 636 (as Bluetooth menu 636 is inherently associated with wireless connections).
- FIG. 6F further depicts user input 640 of wireless relationship affordance 622.
- the user selection is a tap or touch input at a location corresponding to affordance 622; however, other input methods (e.g., using a selection knob or joystick control) are, in some embodiments, used to make the selection instead.
- FIG. 6G depicts another user interface for wirelessly establishing a relationship between device 600 and peripheral display unit 610, namely Bluetooth credentials prompt 642.
- Bluetooth credentials prompt 642 is an interface that prompts the user to enter Bluetooth credentials, such as a numerical code. These credentials can optionally be provided, for example, on the display of the peripheral display unit 610. The credentials are displayed on the peripheral display unit 610 and entered on the device 600 with which a relationship is being established. This process is designed to enhance security by ensuring that the user has control over both the device 600 and the peripheral display unit 610.
- Bluetooth credentials prompt 642 is displayed only as a part of the wireless setup process, and not as a part of the wired setup process, because the presence of a wired physical connection between the device 600 and the peripheral display unit 610 during wired setup adequately ensures that the user is legitimately in control of both device 600 and peripheral display unit 610.
- FIG. 6H depicts a user interface for establishing, via a wired or wireless connection, a relationship between device 600 and peripheral display unit 610.
- FIG. 6H depicts a contact-syncing prompt 644 that provides information to the user about whether to sync contacts from device 600, such as a contacts list from a smartphone, with peripheral display unit 610.
- contact-syncing prompt 644 informs a user that the relationship being established does not require syncing of contacts, and that the relationship will function properly without syncing contacts. That is, while users may be used to known methods of connecting their devices to peripheral display units including vehicles, such as by Bluetooth connections using the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) specification, the current disclosure provides embodiments in which syncing contacts is not necessary.
- PBAP Phone Book Access Profile
- contact-syncing prompt 644 includes an option to not sync contacts, which is presented in the form of "don't sync" affordance 646. As shown by the fact that "don't sync" affordance 646 is bolded and located on the right-hand side of the prompt (proximate to a right-handed user's thumb), "don't sync" affordance 646 is, in some embodiments, the default option.
- FIG. 6I depicts device 100 and peripheral display unit 610 in a state in which a connection is active, such as when a wireless connection or a wired connection is active.
- FIG. 6I further depicts detection of a user input, which, in the depicted example is a depression 650 of hardware button 619.
- hardware button 619 can optionally be configured to perform various functions depending on the state of peripheral display unit 610, whether a connection is active, and the manner in which button 619 is depressed.
- depression 650 of the button 619 has activated personal digital assistant interface 648 which is displayed on both display 608 and display 618.
- personal digital assistant interface 648 can optionally be provided only on display 618.
- these techniques enable battery-usage alerts provided in accordance with information about a predefined or predicted destination of the vehicle, and the predicted amount of time that will be required to arrive there.
- these battery-usage notifications can optionally warn a user if his battery is not going to last the duration of a trip while wirelessly connected to the vehicle.
- FIG. 6J depicts an exemplary charge-level alert.
- a charge-level alert is provided by one or both of device 600 and peripheral display unit 610 to which device 600 is connected by a connection.
- charge-level alert 652 is displayed on display 608.

- FIG. 6K depicts an exemplary battery-usage alert.
- a battery-usage alert is provided by one or both of device 600 and peripheral display unit 610 to which device 600 is connected by a connection.
- Battery usage alerts are provided in accordance with a determination by the device regarding a battery-usage pattern, which will be explained in greater detail below.
- battery-usage alert 654 is displayed on display 608.
- Battery-usage alert 654 is displayed in accordance with a determination by device 600 that the battery has used 50% of its total charge capacity since CarPlay (a wireless connection with a vehicle) was activated, and alert 654 conveys some or all of that information to the user.
- FIG. 6L depicts another exemplary battery-usage alert.
- battery-usage alert 656 is displayed on both display 608 and display 618.
- Battery-usage alert 656 is displayed in accordance with a determination by device 600 that the battery is going to die before device 600 reaches a destination. The manner in which such a determination/prediction can optionally be made is discussed in greater detail below.
- Battery-usage alert 656 conveys some or all of that determined information to the user.
- FIG. 6M depicts an exemplary connection deactivation prompt.
- a connection deactivation prompt is provided by one or both of device 600 and peripheral display unit 610 to which device 600 is connected by a connection.
- Connection deactivation prompts are provided in accordance with a determination by device 600 regarding a charge level and/or a batter-usage pattern, as will be explained in greater detail below.
- connection deactivation prompt 658 is displayed on both display 608 and display 618.
- connection deactivation prompt 658 prompts a user to deactivate CarPlay, as the battery level of device 600 is very low.
- connection deactivation prompt 658 encourages the user to deactivate CarPlay to conserve the small remaining battery charge.
- FIG. 6M further depicts selection of an option to deactivate CarPlay in accordance with the connection deactivation prompt 658.
- the selection is user input 660-a or 660-b, which is a tap or touch user input detected on display 608 or display 618 at a location corresponding to displayed affordances for deactivating CarPlay.
- other input methods e.g., using a selection knob or joystick control
- peripheral display unit 610 is displaying on display 618 user interface 662, which in some embodiments is the primary user interface for peripheral display unit 610.
- User interface 662 comprises user interface objects such as user interface object 663, which can optionally be an affordance or icon for activating a corresponding function.
- Configuration interface 664 comprises window 668, which in some embodiments is a representation of user interface 662. As shown in FIG. 6N , window 668 is a visual representation of user interface 662, containing user interface object representations, such as user interface object representation 669. In the depicted example in FIG. 6N , each of the user interface object representations in window 668 corresponds to a user interface object in user interface 662. Configuration interface 664 additionally comprises available object tray 670, which itself comprises available user interface object representations 672-a and 672-b.
- configuration interface 664 allows for the configuration, via interface 664, of interface 662. It is important to note that, in some embodiments, configuration of user interface 662 can optionally be completed while a connection is active between device 600 and peripheral display unit 610. In some examples, configuration interface 664 can optionally be used when no connection is active. In some of those embodiments, peripheral display unit 610 does not display anything until the next time the relationship is established (as user interface 662 can optionally always be hosted on device 600 and served to peripheral display unit 610 live). In those examples, peripheral display unit 610 would of course not display user interface 662 at all when the relationship is not active. In the figures below, user interface 662 is illustrated as persistently displayed during all stages of configuration, for illustrative purposes.
- FIGS. 6N-6P depict the addition of a user interface object to user interface 662.

- FIGS. 7A-7H are flow diagrams illustrating exemplary process 700 for establishing a relationship between a device and a peripheral display unit in accordance with some embodiments, such as those described above with reference to FIGS. 6A-6I .
- Process 700 is carried out by device 500 ( FIG. 5 ), which can optionally be electronic device 100 or 300 ( FIGS. 1A and 3A), in some embodiments.
- FIG. 7A is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary process for establishing a relationship between a device and a peripheral display unit.
- the device receives a request from a user to authorize a relationship that corresponds to a connection between the device and the peripheral display unit, wherein the connection is a connection over a first data connection with the peripheral display unit.
- An exemplary peripheral display unit is peripheral display unit 610 of FIG. 6A .
- the first data connection is a wireless data connection, such as a Wi-Fi data connection.
- An exemplary Wi-Fi data connection is a connection formed between first wireless data interface 602 and first wireless data interface 612 in FIG. 6A .
- the relationship is a stored relationship between the device and the peripheral display unit, such that the device and/or peripheral display unit store data, on a local memory, indicating that a connection with the other is authorized.
- the device and the peripheral display unit may be said to "remember" one another.
- the relationship can optionally permit automatic reconnection of the authorized data connection at future points in time, such as whenever the device and peripheral display unit are within range of the authorized data connection (e.g., when a wireless connection is able to connect, or when a wired physical connection is plugged in).
- the relationship can optionally authorize the exchange of phone-call data, user interface data, web-browsing data, media data, video stream data, navigation data, etc., with or without user input.
- the relationship is a between a mobile phone and a motor vehicle, such as a CarPlay-enabled vehicle.
- An exemplary request to authorize a relationship that corresponds to a connection over the first data connection is user input 628 in FIG. 6B , which can optionally be a touch or tap input detected by a touch screen.
- the user selects "Authorize Wireless CarPlay" to authorize a CarPlay relationship corresponding to a Wi-Fi connection between the device and the peripheral display unit, which is integrated into a vehicle.
- the device in response to receiving the request to authorize a relationship, the device establishes a relationship with the peripheral display unit, wherein establishing the relationship includes receiving authentication information from the peripheral display unit via a second data connection that is different from the first data connection.
- the second data connection is a wired data connection, such as a USB data connection.
- An exemplary wired data connection is the wired data connection between wired data interface 606 and wired data interface 616 in FIG. 6A .
- the second data connection is a wireless data connection, such as a Bluetooth data connection.
- An exemplary Bluetooth data connection is the Bluetooth data connection between second wireless data interface 604 and second wireless data interface 614 in FIG. 6A .
- establishing the relationship between the device and the peripheral display unit includes receiving authentication information over the second data connection, such as a USB data connection or a Bluetooth data connection, from the peripheral display unit.
- the authentication information includes credentials, such as Wi-Fi credentials, for establishing the first data connection and for connecting the first data connection immediately and/or in the future.
- Blocks 706-710 occur while a connection between the device and the peripheral display unit over the first data connection is not active. That is, the relationship corresponding to the connection over the first data connection can optionally be established, but the actual data connection itself is not active. For example, for a device having established a stored relationship with a peripheral display unit in a vehicle, the device may be out of range of the vehicle such that the Wi-Fi connection between the device and the peripheral display unit is not currently connected.
- the device detects that the peripheral display unit is available for establishment of a connection.
- Establishment of a connection may refer to the establishment of the first data connection referred to above.
- this detection occurs when the device is brought within range of the peripheral display unit such that one or more of the wireless data interfaces in the device, such as wireless data interface 602 and 604, detects the presence of the peripheral display unit.
- this detection occurs when the device is connected to the peripheral display unit via a wired data connection, such as one supported by wired data interface 606.
- the device in response to detecting that the peripheral display unit is available for establishment of a connection, the device establishes a connection between the device and the peripheral display unit, wherein the connection is a connection over the first data connection, wherein establishing the connection between the device and the peripheral display unit comprises providing the authentication information to the peripheral display unit to establish the connection.
- the device to establish an active connection, the device provides the earlier-shared authentication information back to the peripheral display unit. This allows the peripheral display unit to authenticate, via checking the credentials, that the device is approved to form a connection with the peripheral display unit.
- the Wi-Fi connection referred to above is not actively connected (e.g., by a connection), in response to the device coming within range of the peripheral display unit and detecting (via one or more wireless data connections such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) that the peripheral display unit is available for the establishment of a connection, the device establishes a Wi-Fi connection with the peripheral display unit.
- the process of establishing said Wi-Fi connection includes, in some embodiments, sending the Wi-Fi credentials back to the peripheral display unit, thereby proving that a trusted relationship was previously formed.
- FIGS. 7B-7C depict flow diagrams illustrating an exemplary process for establishing a relationship between a device and a peripheral display unit via a wired connection.
- FIGS. 7B and 7C represent an exemplary method in which the method for establishing the relationship is wired.

- FIGS. 7B and 7C depict method 702-a, which is an optional process performed as a part of block 702. That is, the steps in method 702-a primarily expand on the process of receiving a request to establish a relationship, as explained above with reference to block 702.
- the second data connection is a wired data connection.
- An exemplary wired data connection is the wired data connection between wired data interface 606 and wired data interface 612 in FIG. 6A .
- the wired data connection is a data connection between a USB connector, such as one integrated into a peripheral display unit in a vehicle, and a micro-USB connector or a Lightning connector, such as one integrated into a mobile device.
- Blocks 714-724 occur while a relationship has not been established with the peripheral display unit. That is, in some embodiments, these steps occur before the device and the peripheral display unit have exchanged credentials with one another or stored data reflecting a relationship with one another. In some embodiments, these steps occur upon the first time the device and the peripheral display unit come into connection or communication with one another, such as after a user purchases a new device (e.g., a new phone) or a new peripheral display unit (e.g., a new data-connection-enabled system).
- a new device e.g., a new phone
- a new peripheral display unit e.g., a new data-connection-enabled system
- the device receives a communication from the peripheral display unit over the wired data connection between the device and the peripheral display unit.
- the communication received by the device can optionally be a message indicating that the peripheral display unit is capable of establishing a relationship with the device, such as a message indicating that the peripheral display unit is CarPlay-enabled.
- the message can optionally further indicate that no relationship has yet been established between the device and the peripheral display unit.
- the user connects the device to the peripheral display unit via a wired connection (such as a USB connection), possibly for charging, and, upon connecting, the device and the peripheral display unit can optionally automatically exchange messages, including the communication from the peripheral display unit to the device explained above.
- the device displays a first user interface prompting the user to authorize a relationship with the peripheral display unit.
- An exemplary user interface prompting the user to authorize a stored relationship with the peripheral display unit is user interface 620 in FIG. 6B .
- the user interface includes a first option corresponding to authorizing a wireless relationship between the device and the peripheral display unit. Selection of this option can optionally cause the relationship established to be one that allows for a wireless connection, including a wireless connection established immediately and wireless connections automatically established at future times. Thus, despite the setup process being carried out over a wired connection, the device can optionally establish a wireless relationship that allows the exchange of content over a wireless data connection, such as the Wi-Fi relationship described above.
- An exemplary first option is wireless relationship affordance 622 in FIG. 6B .
- selection of this option can optionally allow for the establishment of a wired relationship (as described below) in addition to a wireless relationship.
- a wired relationship can optionally be considered a lesser-and-included authorization, as it may be a more secure connection, a more reliable connection, and/or a less battery-intensive connection.
- the device would be authorized to connect to the peripheral display unit via either a wireless connection (e.g., Wi-Fi) or a wired connection (e.g., USB). For example, if, at a future time, the wireless data interface of the device were disabled, a connection via a wired connection could still be established if the device was connected to the peripheral display unit.
- the user interface includes a second option corresponding to authorizing a wired relationship between the device and the peripheral display unit. Selection of this option can optionally cause the relationship established to be one that allows for a wired connection, including a wired connection established immediately and wired connections automatically established at future times.
- the device would thus not be authorized to automatically connect wirelessly to the peripheral display unit, but it would be authorized to automatically connect via a wired connection to the peripheral display unit. Therefore, in some embodiments, when the user plugs in the device to the peripheral display unit (e.g., by charging over a USB connection), the device can optionally automatically establish a data connection (e.g., a connection) to the peripheral display unit for sharing content.
- An exemplary second option is wired relationship affordance 624 in FIG. 6B .
- selection of this second option can optionally prevent the device from prompting the user to authorize a wireless relationship upon future instances of the device being connected to the peripheral display unit via a wired connection.
- the user interface includes a third option corresponding to authorizing a charging-only connection between the device and the peripheral display unit.
- the user denies permission to the device to authorize either a wireless or a wired relationship.
- the device does not connect to the peripheral display unit either immediately or in the future (without subsequent user intervention) for the exchange of content. Rather, in some embodiments, the wireless connection is used only to charge the device's battery, not to exchange content.
- selection of this third option can optionally prevent the device from prompting the user to authorize a relationship upon future instances of the device being connected to the peripheral display unit via a wired connection.
- An exemplary third option is charge-only affordance 626 in FIG. 6B .
- the request from a user to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit comprises selection of the first option.
- selection of the first option comprises selection of an affordance representing the first option.
- selection of the first option comprises detection of a touch input at a location corresponding to the first option.
- An exemplary selection of the first option is user input 628 in FIG. 6B , which in some embodiments can optionally be a touch or tap input on a touch screen.
- a user selecting the first option in the displayed user interface to authorize a wireless data connection constitutes, at least in part, the request to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit.
- the authentication information comprises credentials for a wireless data connection distinct from the first data connection.
- An exemplary wireless data connection distinct from the first data connection is a data connection between second wireless data interface 604 and second wireless data interface 614 in FIG. 6A , such as short-range, low-power, and/or low-bandwidth wireless data connection (e.g., a Bluetooth data connection).
- the first data connection is high-power, high-bandwidth, and/or long-range wireless data connection (e.g., a Wi-Fi data connection) and the wireless data connection distinct from the first data connection is a Bluetooth data connection.
- Bluetooth credentials are shared between the peripheral display unit and the device over the wired connection during the setup process, such that the wireless data connection distinct from the first data connection can be automatically authenticated and connected immediately and/or at future instances, without user intervention.
- the wireless data connection distinct from the first data connection can be used to facilitate quick and efficient automatic reconnection of the first data connection, particularly when the first data connection is a wireless data connection.
- such exchange of wireless data credentials such as Bluetooth credentials is, in some embodiments, not done automatically, and can require user input and authorization, such as the user typing in a Bluetooth credentials code.
- the credentials are automatically shared via the wired connection because the presence of a wired physical connection serves as adequate indication that the user is in physical control, and therefore legitimate possession and control, of both the device and the peripheral display unit.
- the device in response to receiving a request to authorize a wireless relationship, the device prompts the user to activate a deactivated wireless data interface. For example, in some embodiments, when a user elects to set up a wireless relationship, the device can optionally prompt a user to activate an inactive Wi-Fi or Bluetooth data interface. This functionality is particularly relevant in the context of the wired setup process, as the user can optionally begin the wired setup process with some or all wireless data interfaces disabled.
- An exemplary prompt to activate a wireless data interface is Bluetooth enablement prompt 630 in FIG. 6C .
- FIGS. 7D and 7E depict flow diagrams illustrating an exemplary process for establishing a relationship between a device and a peripheral display unit via a wireless connection.
- FIGS. 7D and 7E represent an exemplary method in which the method for establishing the relationship is wireless.
- the relationship can optionally be established over a wireless connection such as a Bluetooth data connection.
- FIGS. 7D and 7E depict method 702-b, which is an optional process performed as a part of block 702. That is, the steps in method 702-b primarily expand on the process of receiving a request to establish a relationship, as explained above with reference to block 702.
- the second data connection (of block 704) is a wireless data connection.
- An exemplary wireless data connection is the wireless data connection between second wireless data interface 604 and second wireless data interface 614 in FIG. 6A .
- the wireless data connection is a Bluetooth data connection, such as between a Bluetooth communication interface integrated into a peripheral display unit in a vehicle, and a Bluetooth data connection integrated into a mobile device.
- Blocks 732-734 occur while a relationship has not been established with the peripheral display unit. That is, in some embodiments, these steps occur before the device and the peripheral display unit have exchanged credentials with one another or stored data reflecting a relationship with one another. In some embodiments, these steps can optionally occur upon the first time the device and the peripheral display unit come into connection or communication with one another, such as after a user purchases a new device (e.g., a new phone) or a new peripheral display unit (e.g., a new CarPlay-enabled system).
- a new device e.g., a new phone
- a new peripheral display unit e.g., a new CarPlay-enabled system
- the device detects, via one or more of the first and second data connections, that the peripheral display unit is available for the establishment of a relationship.
- the device uses one or more wireless data connections to search for peripheral devices in proximity that are available for connection.
- the device exchanges data with detected peripherals to determine what kind of peripheral it is, whether it is capable of connecting with the device, the name of the peripheral, and information about the security of a connection formed with the device (such as whether connecting to the device would require a password or other authentication or credentials).
- the device displays a fourth option for authorizing a relationship with the peripheral display unit.
- the fourth option displayed is an affordance indicating the name or identity of the available peripheral; because the device need not be physically connected to a peripheral via a wired connection, the user may need an indication of what peripherals are available for wireless connection, so indication via the display of a name of an available peripheral is useful.
- the fourth option for authorizing a relationship is an item in a list of Bluetooth-capable devices.
- An exemplary fourth option that is an item in a list of Bluetooth-capable devices is available Bluetooth device affordance 637 in Bluetooth settings interface 636 in FIG. 6E .
- the fourth option for authorizing a relationship is an item in a list of vehicles with peripheral display units.
- An exemplary fourth option that is an item in a list of vehicles with peripheral display units is available car affordance 634 in CarPlay settings interface 632 in FIG. 6D .
- an affordance when the device detects that a peripheral display unit is available for the establishment of a relationship, an affordance appears, such as affordance 634 or 637, indicating the name of the peripheral display unit and that the unit is available for establishing a relationship.
- affordance 634 and affordance 637 indicate that a peripheral display unit related to a Mercedes Benz is available for the establishment of a relationship, as indicated by the name of the vehicle appearing in an "other cars" or “other devices” list.
- the request from a user to establish a relationship comprises selection of the fourth option, and the device detects selection of the fourth option.
- selection of the fourth option comprises selection of an affordance representing the fourth option.
- selection of the fourth option comprises detection of a touch input at a location corresponding to the fourth option.
- An exemplary selection of the fourth option is user input 635 in FIG. 6D , or user input 639 in FIG. 6E . Both inputs 635 and 639, in some embodiments, are a touch or tap input on a touch screen.
- a user selecting the fourth option in the displayed user interface to authorize a wireless data connection constitutes, at least in part, the request to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit.
- the device displays a second user interface prompting the user to authorize a relationship with the peripheral display unit.
- the device after detecting selection of an option or affordance indicating a device with which to wirelessly establish a relationship, the device provides a prompt inquiring as to which kind of relationship - wired or wireless - the user would like to wirelessly establish.
- An exemplary user interface prompting the user to authorize a relationship with the peripheral display unit is user interface 638 from FIG. 6F .
- the second user interface comprises a fifth option corresponding to authorizing a wireless relationship between the device and the peripheral display unit.
- this fifth option functions in the same way as the first option described above with reference to block 720.
- An exemplary fifth option is wireless relationship affordance 622 in FIG. 6F .
- the second user interface comprises a sixth option corresponding to authorizing a wired relationship between the device and the peripheral display unit.
- this sixth option functions in the same way as the second option described above with reference to block 722.
- An exemplary sixth option is wired relationship affordance 624 in FIG. 6F .
- the second user interface for prompting the user to authorize a relationship with the peripheral display unit does not contain an option for a charge-only connection, as interface 620 for wired-setup did.
- user interface 638 is accessed through the deliberate selection of options to initiate a relationship-establishment process, such as the selection of affordance 634 or 637 by the user. Accordingly, it would seem unreasonable that, after selecting those options, the user would desire to instruct the device to authorize a charge-only relationship. Therefore, in some embodiments, the device determines, based on which user interfaces have recently been displayed or which options have recently been selected by the user, which options are most likely to be selected by the user.
- interface 638 is designed for use whether or not the device is physically connected by a wired physical connection to the peripheral display unit, so an option regarding a charging connection - which in almost all cases requires a wired physical connection - could be unhelpful to the user. For example, without a wired physical connection, the device would be unable to establish a wired data connection if the user were to select such an option, so inconvenience, inefficiency, cognitive strain, and confusion are avoided by suppressing display of an option to establish a wired connection in some embodiments.
- the request from the user to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit comprises selection of the fifth option.
- selection of the fifth option comprises selection of an affordance representing the fifth option.
- selection of the fifth option comprises detection of a touch input at a location corresponding to the fifth option.
- An exemplary selection of the fifth option is user input 640 in FIG. 6F .
- Input 640 in some embodiments, is a touch or tap input on a touch screen.
- a user selecting the fifth option in the displayed second user interface to authorize a wireless data connection constitutes, at least in part, the request to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit.
- establishing a relationship with the peripheral display unit includes displaying on the display of the device a third user interface prompting the user to enter credentials for the wireless data connection.
- the device can optionally prompt the user to enter credentials corresponding to the wireless data connection by which the user is trying to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit.
- the device can optionally prompt the user to enter a Bluetooth confirmation code, such as a Bluetooth confirmation code displayed on the display of the peripheral display unit. This process can optionally be in an attempt to establish that the user has legitimate control over both the peripheral display unit and the device, and to prevent unauthorized users from wirelessly establishing a relationship with the peripheral display unit, such as from nearby the peripheral display unit.
- An exemplary interface prompting the user to enter credentials for the wireless data connection is user interface 642 in FIG. 6G .
- Method 704-c is an optional process performed as part of block 704. That is, the steps in method 704-c primarily expand on the process of establishing a relationship with the peripheral display unit, as explained above with reference to block 704.
- establishing a relationship comprises displaying a fourth user interface providing the user with an option to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit without syncing device contacts with the peripheral display unit.
- a user interface is displayed after a request to authorize a relationship, such as after a user selects wireless relationship affordance 622 in FIG. 6B or wireless relationship affordance 622 in FIG. 6F .
- An exemplary user interface providing the user with an option to establish a relationship with the peripheral display unit without syncing device contacts is user interface 644 in FIG. 6H .
- the user is explicitly prompted and encouraged not to sync contacts, rather than being encouraged and prompted to sync contacts.
- syncing contacts e.g., transferring contact information from a mobile phone for storage in a memory of a peripheral accessory, such as a motor vehicle
- syncing contacts has been the norm in the prior art, there is no need to sync contacts in accordance with the methods disclosed herein. Saving contacts in a memory of a peripheral display unit creates an unnecessary security risk by exposing contact data to other users of the peripheral display device.
- the peripheral display unit can simply use the connection to access the contacts as needed while the connection is active, without storing contact data on a memory at the peripheral display unit.
- not syncing contacts is the default option.
- the user is explicitly informed that the connection will work without syncing contacts, and/or that the default option is to not sync contacts.
- the option to not sync contacts is highlighted by being displayed in bold font (and can optionally be displayed in a different color).
- the option to not sync contacts is also displayed as a default in that it is located on the right side of the interface, proximate to the dominant thumb of most users of the device.
- the option to sync contacts is disparaged by being presented as "Sync obviously"; thus, even if a user only reads the text on the buttons, the user will recognize that the syncing option is disfavored.
- Method 704-d is an optional process performed as part of block 704. That is, the steps in method 704-d primarily expand on the process of establishing a relationship with the peripheral display unit, as explained above with reference to block 704.
- establishing a relationship with the peripheral display unit comprises storing an indication of whether to establish a wireless connection, a wired connection, or a charge-only connection.
- data is stored locally on a memory of the device that indicates the preference that has been selected by the user. For example, if the user elects a wireless relationship, then the device will save an indication of this preference so that it can automatically wirelessly reconnect to the peripheral at future times. For example, if the user elects wired relationship, then the device will save an indication of this preference so that it can reconnect to the peripheral at future times only when a wired data interface is connected.
- the device will save an indication of this preference so that, in future instances of the device being able to connect with the peripheral display unit, it will not connect or share content, but instead will establish a charge-only connection.
- the stored indication in some embodiments, also allows the device to not prompt the user to authorize a connection after the user has done so once, or, in some other embodiments, to prompt the user periodically at future times after the user has declined such authorization once.
- an indication of whether to establish a connection (and of what kind) is alternately or additionally stored on a local memory of the peripheral display unit.

Then, the device compares the predicted time of exhaustion to upcoming contextual events, and determines that the battery will likely be exhausted by media playback mode before a user completes his drive home from work. The device can optionally then provide a notification to the user indicating as much. This information can help a user intuitively understand the battery-life implications of his usage patterns and make informed decisions about how to best conserve battery life going forward.

- a high-power mode of operation is any application, hardware configuration, physical device location, or other mode of operation that is predetermined or actively determined by the device to be a mode of operation in which battery charge is likely to be used at an elevated rate.
- high-power modes of operation can optionally comprise application use, enablement of a data interface (such as a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular data interface), or connection with a peripheral device (e.g., a peripheral display unit such as peripheral display unit 612 in FIG. 6A or 6L ).
- the first mode of operation comprises a wireless connection between the device and a peripheral display unit.
- An exemplary peripheral display unit is the peripheral display unit of FIG. 6A or 6L
- an exemplary wireless connection is any of the wireless connections described above with reference to FIGS. 7A-7H .
- Battery-usage alerts are particularly useful in this context because wireless connections between devices and peripheral display units, such as motor vehicles, are both energy-intensive and novel to users. Particularly, users may not be familiar with the battery implications of a Wi-Fi connection, and battery usage alerts can therefore help users conserve battery.
- one or more of the charge-level alert (of block 808) and the battery-usage alert (of block 810) are provided through the peripheral display unit.
- the device sends data over the wireless connection to the peripheral display unit instructing the peripheral display unit to provide the alert, such as by displaying it, providing an audio alert, or providing a haptic alert.
- An exemplary provision of a battery-usage alert by both a device and a connected peripheral display unit is shown by device 600 and peripheral display unit 610 in FIG. 6L .
- Providing an alert on a peripheral display unit can be particularly useful when users are primarily interacting with the peripheral display unit rather than the device itself; as a user might not see or notice an alert provided only on the device, an alert provided through the peripheral display unit may be more noticeable and useful.
- one or more of the charge-level alert (of block 808) and the battery-usage alert (of block 810) are provided through the peripheral display unit only when the device is not being charged. In some embodiments, even if the device would otherwise provide an alert, the alert is not provided through the peripheral display unit if the device is being charged. For example, if the device is plugged into a car, wall outlet, computer, or other charging source, then the alert can optionally be provided only by the device itself, or not at all.

- battery-usage notification criteria comprise a criterion that is met when a charge level of the one or more batteries of the device will be below a predefined charge level at a predicted end time of usage of a first mode of operation.
- the device relies on a combination of the current charge level, the rate of battery usage in the current mode of operation, historical rates of usage in the current mode of operation, and/or a prediction (e.g., based on historical usage patterns or present contextual indicators like media length or calendar-event length) of when use of the first mode of operation will end; relying on some or all of these factors, in some embodiments, the device determines that the battery is likely to fall below a predefined threshold before a predicted end time of usage of the first mode of operation. In accordance with such a determination, the device provides a battery usage alert indicating its prediction. For example, an alert informs a user, "Your battery is going to be below 20% by the time this movie finishes playing.”
- battery-usage notification criteria comprise a criterion that is met when a charge level of the one or more batteries of the device will be below a predefined charge level at time of a predefined future event.
- the predefined future event is based on calendar data (such as data entered in a user's personal calendar). For example, an alert informs a user, "Your battery is going to be below 20% by the time the concert starts.”
- Blocks 824-828 are part of process 800 for monitoring battery-usage patterns and providing alerts in accordance with some embodiments. Blocks 824-828 optionally occur following blocks 806-810 in FIG. 8A .
- the device determines a destination for the device, wherein the battery-usage notification criteria comprise a criterion that is met when a charge level of the one or more batteries of the device will be below a predefined charge level at a predicted time at which the device will arrive at the destination.
- the device considers the current position of the device (as determined by GPS data), a determined destination of the device, map data, traffic data (e.g., live traffic data from the internet), and any or all of the charge-level data and battery-usage patterns discussed above; in accordance with considering some or all of this data, the device predicts a time at which the user is expected to reach his destination and a charge level at which the battery is predicted to be at that future time.
- a battery-usage notification criterion considers whether that predicted charge level is below a predetermined threshold; if the battery will be below such a threshold at the time a user is predicted to arrive at the destination, then, in some embodiments, the device provides a battery-usage alert indicating its prediction for the user.
- An exemplary battery usage alert provided in accordance with such a battery-usage notification criterion is alert 656 in FIG. 6L .
- the destination is a destination explicitly identified by the user.
- the destination is a destination explicitly provided in a GPS application, a navigation application, a search application, a calendar application, or by some other explicit entry means.

- users can conveniently and efficiently configure the user interface of peripheral display units associated with a device. This configuration can be done remotely (away from the peripheral display unit) while the device is not actively connected to the peripheral display unit. Remote configuration is convenient to the user because it provides flexibility as to the time and place at which configuration can be done. Additionally, configuration via an associated device may be more convenient if the device has a superior input interface, such as when a mobile phone has a modern capacitive touch screen and a peripheral display unit has a cumbersome input interface.
- allowing configuration of the interface improves driver safety by making the user interface more intuitive, customizable, and quickly accessible. Furthermore, allowing remote configuration lessens the need for a user to attempt configuration operations while in the car, improving driver safety.
